The 1000BASE-T1 SPY mini is the first device to allow the direct capture of 1000BASE-T1 (Automotive Gigabit Ethernet) traffic with optional time-stamping with 40 ns resolution to Standard Gigabit Ethernet.

A clock synchronization with the 100BASE-T1 SPY 12 port is provided via internal 802.1AS implementation.

In logging mode the data Frames can be enhanced with additional information that the exact timestamp with 0.04 µs resolution and the bus port the data was originally received on. All data can be recorded on a PC or data logger for detailed ofﬂine analysis.

Different SPY modes are allowed:

Copying each direction of 1000BASE-T1 Trafﬁc to one independent RJ45 interface, or
Allowing copy of both directions of 1000BASE-T1 Trafﬁc to only one RJ45 interface, assuming less than 500Mbps trafﬁc bandwidth in each direction, or
Use as Dual Media Converter.
